8426.11.00.00 from China resolves to 12.50%: a Column 1 General rate of 0.00% and one trade remedy on top of it. That is one line of many under ship-to-shore cranes. Rates within the category differ, so the figure is what this line draws rather than a rate for the category as a whole.

What is in scope

Section 301 reaches ship-to-shore cranes under Chapter 99 heading group 9903.92 and the provisions of HTS 8426. The full list of classifications and the instrument behind the action are on the ship-to-shore cranes page.

China also faces a country-wide additional duty of 12.5%, reported under 9903.05.31. That reaches goods of China whatever they are. The China page sets out every action reaching that origin.

Reading this figure

Duty is assessed at the ten-digit statistical line, not at the category and not at the four-digit heading. A different line under ship-to-shore cranes can carry a different Column 1 rate and, where a trade remedy enumerates provisions rather than a whole chapter, a different set of layers. The calculator resolves a specific code, origin and value.

For what each layer above is: Section 232, Section 301, Section 338, how the layers combine.
